Edmodo is a social networking website that allows teachers to create classes and assign polls, assignments, and quizzes. It is a free website to sign up for teachers, students, and even parents. It requires no software download, just an Internet connection. Edmodo is ad free as long as you do not follow other communities. The site's main goal is to help collaborate between teachers, students, and parents. It is as easy as posting on someone's wall, just like Facebook. You can follow teachers to collaborate with your colleagues and create groups to follow students. The pages for a student and a teacher both look the same, but as a teacher you have more access to post and give others access to the class. It is appropriate for school because it was designed for teachers and school. The teacher controls the content and therefore can keep the material safe and appropriate. It can be used by any level of student from K-12 although it is better suited for students from around 7-12 grade. It is a great way to enrich students and provide lots of collaboration and communication.
